Show Notes

We are each on our own journey. We can travel the very same roads and yet see very different things from one another. And even when something draws our attention, we can choose to turn away or not. That’s what makes the leader’s journey different. There’s no turning away. Once you see it, you cannot unsee it if you know that changing it matters. In this episode, Jonathan shares the story of how his vision of meaningful change emerged as he journeyed through life.

 

01:21              Amplify Question 17

03:02              It’s the life I wanted.

04:22              I wouldn’t have felt this opportunity for change 20 years ago because the world was in a place of deep optimism.

06:20              It’s new ground but not a new planet.

10:50              One of the urges in my vision is to find a way of addressing how we find ourselves fractured across a fractured community.

13:33              The vision of change comes from scanning the landscape with acuity, and feeling it.

19:35              It comes back to my story of what Europe is and can be.

22:30              My vision speaks to the idea that there are people who feel uprooted, disconnected, alienated even within their own home.

25:28              There are people who have not left home but still feel uprooted.

27:42              No human being can get to the perfect definitive truth about themselves because there are mechanisms of denial and delusion within ourselves. But do we want to try?

29:30              A moving story of a film sparking you to say “Enough! This can’t go on.”

33:37              Seeing the false note in the realm of truth enables you to see the patterns.

37:09              When you can’t reform your way out because the soil needs to be changed.

37:55              The power of the storyteller.
